Township explains sheriff-contract estimate drop as partner contribution change
Summary
Finance staff said a projected $20,000 dip in the sheriff contract line results from partner reimbursement changes: Heartland Schools reduced its share from 30% to 20%, and the township budgets the full contract then records reimbursements from partners.
A trustee asked why the sheriff-contract projection drops by about $20,000 in the upcoming year. Susan explained the apparent reduction reflects a partner (Heartland Schools) lowering its reimbursement contribution from 30% to 20%, which reduces the township's projected reimbursement. "It does because the, Heartland Schools opted to go from 30% contribution down to a 20% contribution," she said.
Staff clarified the township is the contract holder with Livingston County and budgets the full contract amount, then accounts for reimbursements from school partners and other participants. Trustees asked for this detail to be added to the bottom of the revenue spreadsheet for clarity.
